"(About the choice of Tony Renis as artistic director of the 2004 Sanremo Festival) A country that puts a man who proudly claims his Mafia friendships at the helm of the most important show on the most important public television network, a man who hosts bosses in his home, who has them brought lunch in their security cells when they are arrested, this is a country that sends a devastating message: being friends with the Mafia is not a problem, in fact it can be an advantage. And it is the same country that then puts its mafia victims on stamps and gives medals to orphans and widows."
